Try scraping a quarter across a Hayden fly reel by TFO and you can’t scratch it. That’s the first signal this might be the most durable fly reel on the market today and built to battle the strongest fish in the ocean.

These reels are machined from marine-grade aluminum and are type 3 hard anodized by super high speed buffing so they will look and perform to perfection for generations.

Three stainless steel bearings and a large surface area cork drag are combined for smooth start up and positive stopping power. These are exceptional reels and will last a few lifetimes.

Famed Australian reel designer Terry Hayden has teamed up with TFO to create a new reel that is designed to battle the strongest fish in the ocean.

Built for a lifetime of service, TFO's Hayden reels are tough. Machined from 6061 marine grade aluminum and Type III Hard Anodized. Hard Anodization penetrates the base metal becoming an integral part of the material while building up on the surface creating a finish that is harder and more durable than those found on the most expensive reels.

If you cast with your right hand and retrieve with your left hand then you want Left Hand Retrieve.

If you cast with your left hand and retrieve with your right hand then you want Right Hand Retrieve.

Note: Some prefer to use the same hand for casting and retrieving by setting the hook before switching the rod to the opposite hand. This is perfectly acceptable. The important thing is that you retrieve with the hand with which you are most comfortable (fastest retrieve).
